I believe he means that

namespace MyFunctions
{
  void function();
}

is equivalent to
class MyFunctions
{
public:
  static void function();
};

However, if you add  "static" to the namespace above, the symbol won't=20
be exported, which is impossible with a class. See my e-mails on this=20
subject regarding the ELF headers (my readelf outputs).

PS: if anyone is wondering, the symbol mangling is different for the two=20
functions above, at least with g++.
